Prop Choice
Greetings All,
I am a transplant to the NW part of New Mexico, and the field I fly at is at about 6000 feet... back in New York the field was maybe 500 feet.
I have noticed that I dont get the climb performance here in NM I got in NY, so I think I need to switch props.. so do anyone who flys at 6000+ have any advice or know of a resource on the net I might find this info?
my plane is a Great Planes Big Stik 40 (kit built) weighing 6.3 lbs with a OS 70 4 stroke and a Master Airscrew 12-8 4 stroke prop (K series)
I would rather stick to MA props as they are not as brittle as APC.. and I dont have much ground clearance (1/2 inch) to play with, so a 13 inch prop is out..
thanks for the help & keep your glow plug out of the dirt
